Description

Join OCH in the Upper Newport Bay as we restore the salt marsh habitat through removal of Algerian sea lavender and other invasive species. This habitat is important for resident and migrating species year-round. With constant human related impacts, these habitats are in desperate and constant need of restoration efforts and we are excited to be able to help. As we work, important species information will be discussed relating to the habitats and species therein. *NOTE: Please email [email protected] about your shoe size, as we often loan out boots to protect your nice shoes from the mud Park near the cul-de-sac or Muth centerPlease sign Project Grow's waiver and OC Habitats' waiver for every event you attend.
